Supply and demand, right? Rents should be plummeting, right? Where are those Freedom Markets™ we were promised? The OC says high rents are being maintained by speculators removing inventory from the market. (I'm sure there's multiple factors at play.) One proposed remedy is a vacancy tax. I don't know anything about that kind of thing. I do know I support whatever it takes to repurpose these spaces.
